Weekly Update - Easter Break

Scripture for Meditation

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples." Matthew 28:6-8

Parents Lunch

Prayer Request - the Riviera family

Below are two immediate ways we can support the Riveira family.

GoFundMe: A Go Fund Me account (set up by Tobitha Smith) has been set up for donations from other homeschool groups and churches that would like to financially support the family. If you would like to support them is this way, here is the link:

This coming Friday (3/18), we are hoping for help loading donated furniture in Linden, NJ and Piscataway NJ, and unloading in East Stroudsberg PA. Time isn't definitively set, most likely in one of the NJ locations around 11:30/Noon.

Friday and Saturday, April 1st and 2nd, moving day(s)!!!! We need assistance Friday(4/1) getting furniture out of storage in East Stroudsberg PA and onto UHaul. Saturday(4/2) we need assistance unloading furniture into rental house, moving things from the hotel and moving storage bins from Riveras house to rental house garage!

Memory Masters

Please make sure you inform me if your child is planning to test for Memory Masters and what their shirt size is. I want to make sure to order the shirts before they get back ordered. Thanks!

Standardized Testing

Jessica Harper will be our new Testing Coordinated. Stay posted for more information to come.

At Classical Conversations Testing Services, we believe that standardized testing is an important part of preparing students for college entrance exams, whether your state mandates testing or not. We take a very pragmatic attitude towards testing: The test results are not as important as the skill of test-taking, though achievement tests do provide parents with reliable data for evaluating progress in language and math skills. Each year, we offer local, on-site testing for grades 3–12 through our communities. We are looking for a homeschool parent from this community to coordinate testing this year. For more details, and to apply, visit www.cctestingservices.com.

Please pray that they have save travels, stay healthy along the way and are able to make some wonderful family memories.

Calling all photographers

Have you been taking pictures in class, on field trips or special events? We'll need your photos and videos for the end of the year celebration. Please start collecting your favorites and load them on a USB stick or CD for Courtney Oslon. If you could also upload them to the pica boo account below, that would be so helpful. Thanks!

Yearbook

I've set up an account at Picaboo.com to start collecting photos for our yearbook and end of the year slide show. Go to this link and upload your photos from field trips, class or other events and activities. http://ccdoylestown.picaboo.com If anyone would like to take over the management of this, I would love to pass it along!
